Dakasi Fresh Milk Tea Drinks in Iloilo City

All done!

I have never been a fan of Teas or even Milk Teas to say the least but today, I was in a part of the city where Milk Teas were abundant. Kaye convinced me to drink tea with her at Dakasi - a place where fresh tea drinks are served. The Dakasi branch in Iloilo City is found in Iloilo Ayalaland Technohub at Smallville, Boardwalk Avenue, Iloilo City. The 15th branch of the Tea chain just had their grand opening here in Iloilo City last February 12, 2013.

Halo-Halo

Ayala Technohub on the side

Dakasi started it roots 23 years ago in Taiwan and is currently set-up with it's main office in Guangzhou, China. Right before we got to the premises, we had already been to 3 stores and in all those stores, the person who attended to us were very unfriendly and stereotype. But when we got to Dakasi, Kaye and I were greeted with smiles and a friendly tone. As I searched through Dakasi's website, they really stick to their motto of "customer first" and "service first". The guy who entertained us even asked our permission before tending to another customer behind us as we were still trying to decide what to buy. Now that is service with respect.

The menu was overwhelming with different kinds of milk teas and drinks but they were categorized according to type. Kaye ordered the large variety of their house specialty - Dakasi Bubble Milk Tea (comes with Pearl Add-on) and added Coconut Jelly as an add-on. I ordered nothing special - Chocolate Milk Tea with Coconut Jelly and Chocolate Pudding as an add-on. The cashier also taught us certain tricks of the trade about the perfect combinations for their drinks. He also mentioned that Charcoal Roasted Milk Tea is their lightest drink.

Below is their Menu (prices are as of June 5, 2013):

The Menu alone will give you a lot of options to choose from and gives you more varieties compared to other competitors. Their tea tastes good and I guess better than the last one tea I drank from another company. I believe this will not be the last time I will visit Dakasi.
